[SOLVED] Control center disappeared

[JJF]

I am running Mageis 3 64b for a while, and recently unable to run (find) mcc in System tools, either in KDE or Gnome.

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux localhost 3.10.28-desktop-1.mga3 #1 SMP Sat Feb 1 16:15:10 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know how to restore it and why it disappeared
Please advise

You can install it as root via

Code: Select all

urpmi drakconf

To find out why/when it was removed look at the last 500 rpm transactions:

Code: Select all

journalctl -a | grep -F "[RPM]" | head -500

Thank a lot
drakconf did solve it

Did you have a look why it was removed?

The desktop file /usr/share/applications/drakconf.desktop had been moved to /usr/share/applications/mageia-drakconf.desktop when MGA4 was being developed. I think an update to MGA3 may moved it too. Please search /usr/share/applications/ for mageia-drakconf.desktop.

Have no idea and I don't know how to check it. My Linux knowledge is quite poor. (There are many small things that I am ashamed to ask about or to report. One of which is: how can I run Gnomeclassic, which appear in the login session selection, but when I mark it, I only get the splash screen without a panel or any possibility to launch even the terminal. Other sessions: KDE, Gnome, are OK)
Thanks for your help

You can check it by opening /usr/share/applications directory either with by your file browser or running this command in terminal:

Code: Select all

ls /usr/share/applications/drak-*

Your Gnome classic issue seems to be a bug to me but i neither use gnome nor know which package is responsible from this issue.

Please, do not be ashamed. Everyone learns how to do things by first reading documents (man pages, wiki pages etc.) and then kindly asking which you already begin to do. Proper questions are your friend at this forum. Welcome to fantastic world of Free or Opensource software!

Please check the previous posts, problem was that drakconf packages had been uninstalled. They are now back and it's working, so why look for the desktop files?

@JJF:

Simply post that output here.
